Mostly I built golf courses the way I played golf, which was left-to-right. But I learned very rapidly that people wanted to see more than just the way I played golf and that I had to balance up what I was doing, right-to-left, left-to-right, etc.

A big part of managing a golf course is managing your swing on the course. A lot of guys can go out and hit a golf ball, but they have no idea how to manage what they do with the ball. I've won as many golf tournaments hitting the ball badly as I have hitting the ball well.

I'm tired of giving my best and not having it be good enough.

Well, the biggest rival I had in my career was me.

A kid grows up a lot faster on the golf course. Golf teaches you how to behave.

Public appearances are a headache. I hold mine down to a minimum.
